Episode 83. Manage a fiefdom (2)
I also know this and ask.
For me, who is familiar with modern economics, managing a country estate is not difficult.
“The food problem is the most serious.”
“serious?”
“The food in the lord’s storage is almost depleted.”
floor?
Ha, it’s like an answerless territory!
“Is it that serious?”
“… … “No matter how much I save, I can’t last even a month.”
“Is it not enough for the territory to produce its own products?”
“… … yes.”
The voice of Sir Perorin, who was shocked even though it was not his mistake.
This territory is so sad.
If I hadn’t come, people would have died of starvation a month later.
The territory that has been under investigation for a few days is on the verge of collapse.
A territory with no nobles to purchase it even if it goes bankrupt.
I am the owner.
“Call the top right away.”
The decision was quick.
I don’t want to save a few pennies.
There was money everywhere.
A diligent lord feeds his lords.
“Call it to many places, not just one. “There are rumors that they are purchasing not only food but also various other items in large quantities.”
“yes!”
Sir Perorin’s voice is bright.
As a knight from a top family, he understood the meaning of the words.
The more competition, the better the prices.
“and… I’ve been thinking about it… … .”
I stopped talking and looked at the driver gently.
A knight looking at you with respect.
“I plan to turn the territory into a specialized product production area.”
“???”
Sir Perorin still doesn’t understand.
A suspicious light appears in the eyes.
“We are going to make penin tea a specialty product here. From what I’ve tried, if production can be secured, it will be sensationally popular all over the continent.”
After drinking it, I was filled with confidence.
This works!
I also came up with a special production secret.
“Very delicious. And it’s highly addictive.”
“you’re right. Anyone who drinks it once will become addicted to the unique taste of penin tea. But the problem is production.”
Sir Perorin said with regret.
“We can increase production.”
“The area where penim is grown is limited. There are a lot of monsters, so we need a lot of guard soldiers. “It is still impossible due to the circumstances of the territory.”
“I will handle it.”
“insect!”
Sir Perorin did not speak long.
I saw with my own eyes what kind of person I was.
I can’t reveal everything to the driver.
Ways to increase production that come to mind.
This territory will make you rich!
“And there are mountains around the territory, so it seems like there are a lot of minerals, is that right?”
“There are many minerals, including iron ore. “But monsters are occupying important positions.”
A monster that always catches your ankle.
I quenched my appetite.
No matter how much I am, I can’t stop everything with one hand.
“Do you know where the dwarves live?”
“The dwarf race is reluctant to interact with humans. “I heard there are several villages deep in the Engon Mountains.”
“okay?”
“Because it is near the dragon’s lair, humans are barely able to enter.”
Recruiting dwarves is not easy.
This is for next time.
“Lord Perorin. “Where can I get a lot of horses and cows quickly?”
Livestock was needed to increase the productivity of the estate.
Powerful horses and cows are essential for farming.
Things like tractors and trucks on Earth.
Short-term growth is impossible with manpower alone.
The money was overflowing!
“It is faster to obtain materials from territories with abundant supplies than from the upper level.”
“okay?”
“You don’t have to go far, there are a lot of them at the nearest Garion Territory. “It is the wealthiest among the surrounding estates, so it produces a lot of products.”
Are you rich?
Garion Yeongji, who lives next door and is said to be generous.
My appetite is getting stronger.
“Especially in the case of horses, we produce them in large quantities using large estate pastures. “In the empire, the horses from Garion Territory are the most recognized after the horses from the Principality of Pukel.”
“I need to go to Garion Territory sometime. “It is also polite to visit the marquis.”
There is a rich man next door.
It’s right to say hello.
I want to encourage the spirit of mutual aid by sharing with neighbors when the warehouse is overflowing.
“That is correct.”
“Let’s get in touch and find out if the Marquis is there.”
“insect!”
The more you look at Sir Perorin, the more attractive he becomes.
The article is painful.
The more articles the better.
The elites in this neighborhood are extremely loyal.
“Lord Perorin.”
“yes! “My lord.”
“Among the merchants who come to the territory, are there any who run large merchant merchants?”
“During the Penin harvest season, merchants come from the Imperial Capital. Among them, there is the best merchant in the empire called Karmania Merchant.”
Of course, it’s Penincha!
It’s obvious enough to come to this dangerous place to buy a car.
Even if there are luxury goods, the estate is poor.
Slamming merchants’ prices!
There is no way forward.
“Tell him I want to meet him urgently.”
“yes!”
As gold nuggets abound, knights also become powerful.
money… … . It’s really good.
“I think it’s time to pay the soldiers, right?”
“It’s tomorrow.”
“Please pay double the current salary.”
“yes???”
Sir Perorin was surprised.
This will be my first time seeing you like this.
It is not easy to meet a generous lord.
“Pay insufficient compensation to the families of the deceased soldiers. And please provide as much support as possible so that there is no disruption to their lives.”
“main… army… … .”
Sir Perorin’s eyes become moist.
The loyalty is so overflowing that it’s about to explode.
A man comes to mind at that time.
A soldier worried about his daughter’s birthday present on the castle wall despite being hungry.
I hoped it would bring a little happiness to the family.
***
“We need to increase production capacity at a macro level and double the competitiveness of the entire territory through investment in social overhead capital.”
Tak tak tak.
Even while riding Trump, my mind was busy.
I didn’t major in business administration, but I know the basics.
The most important basis of spiritual power in the Middle Ages was food.
Once food is the foundation, the next steps are easy.
All you have to do is build a treatment center and expand infrastructure.
If you eat well and be healthy, your territory’s economy will trend upward.
The greatness of Korean education.
It shined even in this world.
“We must provide basic income to the residents of the territory through gold and restore the economic cycle through consumption. “The key is to manage it so that the chain does not break until it grows on its own.”
Due to the small-scale nature of the territory, development through large-scale commerce is difficult.
There is a lot of land, but there is currently little land for farming.
There was a need to balance production and consumption through specialized products.
I have no intention of greatly expanding the territory.
While I am in charge of the lord, I want to avoid a situation where the residents of the territory die from hunger or sickness.
“Penincha… … . “There’s something.”
The taste of penin tea came to mind.
Even now, thinking about it makes my mouth water.
I don’t know about Gerius, who drank it with me, but I definitely noticed one thing about the taste.
If only it were activated… … It’s an invitation.
“I think we’re almost there.”
We headed to Rubedon village, where penin tea is produced.
We must uncover the hidden secret.
Seeing is worth hearing.
Lord Perorin stopped him from following me.
A lot of territory administrative work was delayed.
Going on a business trip was more comfortable than getting a stamp.
When I was heading to town like that!
Kuaaaaaa!
Kurara kurarararara!
The sudden roar of the orcs echoed through the earth.
“They are orcs!!!”
“Stop it!!!”
“The orcs are invading! Everyone take up arms!!!”
Clink ding ding ding!
The sound of a bell and various screams are heard urgently.
“!!!”
I came to my senses.
It’s my territory, not anywhere else!
Suddenly, my teeth ground apart.
and.
“these guys… … “Kill them all!”
Faaah!
